Napoleon had a profound impact on the development of both France
and Europe, and his career had repercussions across the wider
world. His career had all the elements of a classical tragedy:
having begun with spectacular military and civil achievements, it
ended in exile on the tiny Atlantic island of St Helena.
Almost two centuries after Napoleon s death, historians continue
to argue about his aims, his achievements and his legacy. In this
thoroughly revised and updated new edition, Clive Emsley brings
these historiographical debates up-to-date, and broadens his study
to include discussion of the cultural and social impact of the
Napoleonic era.
Divided into five parts this new edition:
- offers a succinct summary of Napoleon s career
- examines his impact on France and Europe, as well as including
a new chapter on the impact of the Napoleonic adventure on the
wider world
- considers the relationship between Napoleon and the French
Revolution
- outlines the difficulties in assessing his career
- explores the current debates surrounding Napoleon
- contains an expanded selection of primary source documents,
ranging from state papers to police reports.
A Chronology, Glossary and Who s Who of key characters are also
provided, making this an indispensable textbook for students of
nineteenth-century French and European history. "
